Knowing about weather condition in advance form the Weather Channel might affect our decision to plan for a picnic during the weekend. However, knowing of possible rain during the week will not stop us from going to our offices. It is only a matter of being ready with a raincoat or an umbrella.
On the other hand, what would be the situation if the FlightCaster is expecting a delay of 3 hours?
Are we supposed to adjust our arrival time to the airport to avoid the expected delay?
What about the case if the probability is ONLY a probability while the reality is that the flight is actually on time?
Are the airlines responsible for the information provided by the FlightCaster?
Are they supposed to deliberately delay the flight to accommodate the late arriving passengers who faithfully depended on the delay forecast?
The whole scenario is just an attempt to assess a reasonable level of dependability to the tool.
My argument does not change the fact that I bookmarked the site for further assessments once additional details become available.
